Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2016-3: Why Your Wife Doesn't Understand You

Male humor gets you in trouble in a female world.

Face it. Most women have no sense of humor, at least the women in my life.

I am not talking about locker room humor that focuses on sex. I am talking about the kind of thing that Don Rickles was famous for and the comments the you would hear on “Celebrity Roast”. Men who are friends can throw out all kinds of insulting remarks and understand that it is among friends. It is often funny.

The label has morphed over the years. We have knocked, chopped, ragged, pounded, and of course roasted. The current term that is being used is “bagging”.

The kids I work with don’t understand when I make disparaging remarks about myself. They get this strange look on their face and say in wonder, “You’re bagging on yourself!” Yes, I am. Funny is funny and is often based on the unexpected or divergent viewpoint. Often what I say about myself isn’t that funny. It is a simple statement of the obvious, but it catches them off guard because I am saying it about myself.

Women will never understand. Neither will the modern feminized version of men.

So how many old, bald, male bloggers does it take to put down a toilet seat? We don’t know because it has never been done. The ladies may understand the point but might not think it is funny.
